                    There was a guy who tried to rid his house of mice. He bought a mouse trap but had no cheese. To remedy the problem, cut out a picture of cheese from a magazine. He loaded the trap with the artificial cheese and went to bed. When he checked the mousetrap that following morning he was quite

Flying with two artificial legs, he shot down 22 enemy airplanes in the Battle

                    Airplane pilots are subject to a strange phenomenon.
